Curl up with a cup of hot chocolate and visit a town that will quickly feel like home. ***Includes extra goodies like a recipe and your own copy of the Christmas Calendar to follow along with Cassie***The Clause in Christmas is Book 1 in the Poppy Creek series by the fresh and emerging voice of author Rachael Bloome.
